I’ve only riden the city bike trails so far. As far a downhill and free riding go there are a few metropolitan bike trails to consider.

In Perth the steep ride up and down through Kings Park also boasts spectacular views of the city and Swan River.

In Adelaide, the Belair National Park has a few steep trails. The Southern Expressway has a great endurance bike trail that runs from Darlington down south to almost Seaford Rise. Besides the hills the overall gradient from Majors Road to Morphett Vale is very steep. I took my exgirlfriend there for her first ride with me, and I had to get the car to pick her up on the steep run uphill, and she vowed never to do it again.

Also other cities like Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane all have hills around them.

I hope this helps. But if you’re after a more extreme downhill run or freeride trail maybe some others know.

Cheers,
Dave

I am looking for some bike parks in Australia with dh/freeride trails and a shuttle like a lift. Found only one in Tasmania.
Could somebode recommend me any other bike parks? Have to rent a bike there.

Thanks a lot

Glad you found that link for the Sydney bike trails. This site has just changed servers and no its back online I have personally ridden and reviewed bike trails in 6 capital cities so far.

I recently reviewed a few of the trails in and near Sydney CBD. Depending whether you don’t mind a lot of pedestrians, or prefer a good fast ride, you won’t be disappointed. Generally well signposted and good surfaces.

Briefly some recommended bike paths around Sydney that I rode are, Circular Quay to Potts Point (along the Harbour), Centennial Park (great circular track for fast rides), and Olympic Park (three main tracks to explore around the location for the Sdyney 2000 Olympic Games).

Please check back soon for details, maps, reviews and pics of those bike trails.
